There is one fuel that will always be free.
Which is why we make the most of it.
Air intake system.
The Cayenne models are all
equipped with a resonance air
intake system. This simple
technology uses the pressure
waves generated by the inlet
valves to ‘force’ air into the engine.
The effect is enhanced in
the Cayenne, Cayenne S and
Cayenne GTS by a two-stage
intake manifold. This combines all
the benefits of a long intake tube
(higher torque at low rpm) with
those of a shorter length (more
power at higher rpm). On theCayenne GTS, performance is
enhanced by optimised airflow
management in the intake manifold.
Although ‘naturally aspirated’,
the Cayenne, Cayenne S and
Cayenne GTS provide high torque
ratings across the entire engine
speed range.

Pressure is often the key to performance.
Turbocharging system in the Cayenne Turbo.
The Porsche Turbo is synonymous
with performance, exhilarating
acoustics and the finest engineering.
The Cayenne Turbo has twin
turbocharger units arranged in
parallel. The low-volume intake
pipes combine with short exhaust
manifolds to achieve a rapid,
emphatic response.
Incoming air is passed through a
filter and compressed by the turbine
units. Its temperature is then
reduced in the intercooler system,
which improves cylinder charging
and limits thermal loads on the
engine.
Boost pressure reaches 1.8 bar
(absolute pressure) under full
acceleration from just 2,500 rpm.In normal road driving (part-throttle
mode), the pre-throttle boost
pressure is reduced in order
to
maximise fuel economy. When
the car is driven more assertively,
the
turbines are ‘pre-spun’ so
as to increase the pressure
available. When the throttle is
finally opened, the boost can
be applied immediately.
Both turbo units are cooled by
dedicated circuits from the main
engine cooling system.This solutionprevents oil degradation due to
overheating.
For the driver, the result is
seamless delivery of phenomenal
power and torque.

Environment
Servicing.
Although every journey is a pleasure
in a Porsche, there’s one you won’t
have to make too often. Thanks to
the lengthy service intervals and
long-life components, we may not
be seeing you for some time.
In the case of the oil filter, for
example, all that’s replaced is an
easily recyclable paper element.
The oil filter casing remains on
the car.
All moving parts inside the engine
are fully self-adjusting. The valve
clearances, for example, feature
automatic hydraulic control.
All camshafts have a zero-
maintenance chain-drive system.With single-spark coils on each
of the cylinders, the entire ignition
system, with the exception of the
spark plugs, is maintenance-free.
These modest servicing require-
ments mean less waste disposal
and fewer demands on natural
resources. They also lower the
cost of ownership while keeping
your car on the road.
Service intervals for the Cayenne
models are dependent on a range
of factors, including local fuel
quality. For full details of service
intervals in your country/region,
please consult the relevant price
list or contact your Porsche Centre.
Materials and recycling.
Owning a Porsche should be a
lasting pleasure with minimal
impact on the environment. That’s
why every Porsche is built to
endure both technically and in
terms of design. The lightweight
exhaust on the Cayenne models,
for example, is constructed from
long-life stainless steel.
Weight reduction is a fundamental
part of the Porsche design philoso-
phy. By using a greater proportion
of high-strength materials, e.g.,
special steels, cast aluminium
alloys and synthetic materials, we
have successfully reduced the
weight of each car and therefore
its fuel consumption. Every produc-
tion process we use at Porsche
is designed with the environment
in mind. Also, every Porsche model
is
entirely free of asbestos, CFCs
and
components manufacturedusing
CFCs. All legal requirements
in respect of recycling are fulfilled.
Materials are labelled in accordance
with VDA 260, enabling better
recycling of end-of-life vehicles and
individual parts and assemblies.
While more than 85 % of the car
can be recycled using current
technologies, the chances are
your new Cayenne may never need
recycling at all. After all, two thirds
of all the cars we have ever made
are still on the road today.
